I enjoyed how I Hate How You Dress revealed itself to you slowly with smart writing and unexpected twists. There is a satisfying balance of comedic moments with the two mentor angels and more serious moments of anger and eventual forgiveness.
Our Cemetery had such clear and interesting dynamics between the characters. The performances felt very grounded and believable. It was hilarious to witness these characters reverting back to teenage behaviors like fighting over a boy, smoking pot, and sn...

Superb clowning + storytelling: first a wildly engaging clown performance, and then two very different personal stories about how they each went from the military to a clown duo. Plus truly impressive physical feats and stamina for what they're doing and for how long (no spoilers!). ...

I was really excited to see this from the beginning. I actually went out and watched the movie just so that I could be prepped for it. Some real love went into this and it absolutely showed. I had a great time. ...

Super hilarious and definitely not the typical show you will see at Fringe. Harper has an amazing voice, mixing standup and music. Greg is great on the keys and as a comedic foil. She also kills it with crowd work and keeps people laughing through some pretty dark topics. ...

Weiland is excellent at setting up a seemingly mundane story then adding exciting twists that nobody saw coming. You get the chance to connect with and understand each character individually which makes all the messy love triangles (and squares) that much more gripping. Coffee Date explores all the juicy hallmarks of modern dating including dating apps, undefined relationships, and fluid sexuality....

It was a great showcase for Lucy's acting range and ability to quickly move between moods and characters. The story was personal and interesting and I never knew where it would go, which made it incredibly engaging. Lucy is so naturally funny and delightful, ...

Sack of Nerves is a raw, relevant, and resonant new work from Andrew Phillips. The hour long show blows right by. It's often blisteringly funny all while maintaining a steady hum of emotional heft that finds its natural moments to swell for maximum impact....

A fascinating journey of self reflection, where the writer/performer digs deep to find out why they are having such a hard time letting their daughter take up the family tradition of playing tennis. There are themes of intergenerational trauma, and how to break that cycle. ...

The show started out as a silly, intimate, and interactive, satire, making fun of the performance of femininity, but then seamlessly pivoted to more a more serious exploration of gender and self-acceptance. I was in awe of the bravery and vulnerability in both the performance and writing. I adore a show with a fresh take on pertinent social issues and this play is just that....
